The Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, has said it does not regulate how pastors operate their churches.
CAN President, Rev. Supo Ayokunle
said this while reacting to the latest allegations by wife of popular musician,
Timi Dakolo, Busola, against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, founder of COZA.
Busola had alleged that the COZA
founder had forcefully raped her when she was young.
The mother-of-three narrated how
Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly forced his way onto her when she was just 18 years.
In a swift reaction, Fatoyinbo
denied the allegation, though admitted Busola once attended the same church
with her family.
Fatoyinbo, consequently ordered
his lawyers to institute both criminal and civil case against Busola.
Reacting to the saga, Ayodele’s
Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Pastor Oladeji Adebayo, said CAN
does not regulates how pastors operate.
Speaking with Telegraph on the
matter, Adebayo said the body neither regulates nor intervene in the running of
churches.
He said: “I am sorry CAN does not
intervene in how churches are running. Churches belong to denominations and
these are the two bodies that regulate how pastors run their ministries, not
CAN. CAN deals with intrareligious matters and stands between the church and
the government.”
